B-17 Flying Fortress Units of the Pacific War (COM-39)(9781841764818)(OSPREY)

The B-17 saw combat in the Pacific from the moment a formation of these bombers arrived at Pearl Harbor during the midst of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack. By the end of the war, SB-17 rescue craft were saving combat crews in the waters off Japan. This book reveals why, to the public, the Flying Fortress was better known than the Spitfire, the Boeing 747, or Lindberghs Spirit of St Louis. The name recognition enjoyed by the B-17 was that companys reason for creating B-17 Steak Sauce and Ospreys reason to round out the saga of this great wartime aircraft.
